Conditioning for Strength and Human Performance is an excellent reference for both practioners and researchers in the field. The basic science sections are very well organized and written. I was very impressed with the way difficult material was explained in a clear and easy to understand fashion. The descriptions and instructional cues for various exercises were also very well done. Most importantly, the chapters on program design provide a wealth of information on exercise prescription. A worthy text in the library for anyone who works in the strength and conditioning field.
